(a)
Interpretation:
The oxidation state of iron in the protoporphyrin
Concept introduction:
The oxidation state of the metal represents the tendency of the metal to lose electrons. More the tendency to donate electrons higher will be the oxidation state. The
(b)
Interpretation:
The total electron count around the iron metal in the protoporphyrin
Concept introduction:
The electron count of the metal is the number of electrons present in the bonding molecular orbital of the metal. The electrons donated by the ligand also contribute in the electron count.

- 2.) Phosphorus in urine can be determined by treating with molybdenum(VI) and then reducing the phosphomolybdate with aminonaphthol sulfonic acid to give the characteristic molybdenum blue color. This absorbs at 690 nm. A patient excreted 1270mL urine in 24 h, and the pH of the urine was 6.5. A 1.00-ml aliquot of the urine was treated with molybdate reagent and aminonaphthol sulfonic acid and was diluted to a volume of 50.0 ml. A series of phosphate standards was similarly treated. The absorbance of the solutions at 690 nm, measured against a blank, were as follows: Solution Absorbance 1.00 ppm P 2.00 ppm P 0.205 0.410 3.00 ppm P 0.615 4.00 ppm P 0.820 Urine sample 0.625 (a) Calculate the number of grams of phosphorus excreted per day.
